   <h2>RTE Configuration - Packs</h2>
<p>

</p>
<ul>
<li>Shows all installed Software Packs.</li>
<li>Shows the Software Packs that are required to generate the project.</li>
<li>Select specific Software Packs for the project.</li>
<li>Description of the Software with URL (hover over) and hyperlink.</li>

<p>
Enable <b>Use all latest Packs</b> while the project is under active development. 
Software components are automatically updated when a newer version of a Software Pack is installed.
</p>

<p>
Disable this option to maintain a project with specific Software Pack selection. 
This might be required when a project depends on software components or APIs that are available 
only in specific versions of a Software Pack.  In this case use <b>Selection</b> to choose:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>latest</b>: use latest version of a Software Pack and related software components.</li>
<li><b>fixed</b>: specify one or more versions.</li>
<li><b>excluded</b>: no software components from this Software Pack are used.</li>
</ul>
